National marketing campaign opportunities - For Visit County Durham Partners

Visit County Durham’s next national destination marketing campaign is about to get underway, providing excellent cost effective promotional opportunities for your business. Focussing on the county’s core tourism offer of heritage, the campaign will showcase Durham’s amazing heritage experiences through a series of inspirational videos, which will appeal to younger and family audiences.

Key activity in the six month campaign is set to include a partnership with the Evening Standard and Independent websites, two of the biggest media outlets in the country, along with e-newsletters to our database of over 43,000 contacts, social media and a series of press visits from national titles and high-profile influencers.
